Bob_c_b inspired me to clean out my case earlier this month, this was the best I could do:

It looked cleaner closed:

It was all looking good until I plugged it all in. Smoke started rising out of the motor and basically it blew out.

I was forced to wait until the next payday, which was the 15th. So upset. Payday came by and I decided to get a nice Antec case.

The PSU in this one totally owns my old Raidmax one.

So I went from this:

To this:

Thanks. I designed those when I was 12 and built them with my father.

I like your new desks, congrats!

Is that a cheiftech case? If yes, how is it? Could you take pics of the inside? I'm thinking of getting one of those.

That particular case is made by ULTRA although it is almost identical to cheiftech models. The only difference between the cheiftechs and my ultra is the ultra has a gloss black front bezel and the entire chassis is made out of steel (i found aluminum to be too flimsy).

This review has some good pics http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/UltraCase/

Is that an original lucasfilm THX poster I see in the background??

yup.

looks much better now ;)

Feels much better too, since my old desk wasnt a computer desk at all, it was very cramped.

    • But it opens the floodgates to anyone who gets a refund instead of a replacement (since refund will buy you a 1/3rd of the capacity it did years ago)
    • He has planned to file a lawsuit in small claims court so it'll only be a $1000 lesson assuming he wins. That's likely a fraction of what Samsung spends on toilet paper on a daily basis.
    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support by Usama Jawad For the past few months, Microsoft has been previewing DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for Windows DNS Server, touting it as a foundational upgrade for zero-trust enterprise networks. It essentially introduces encrypted, authenticated DNS for the networks rather than transmitting DNS traffic in clear. Now, the company has introduced the general availability (GA) of this feature. The GA of DoH encourages organizations to deploy the solution in production environments without implementing a new client-to-resolver architecture. DoH helps improve the overall security of the network and reduces the risk of spoofing due to its zero-trust design. This is a significant change because pretty much every interaction with the network requires interfacing with DNS. DoH offers several advantages over standard DNS traffic, such as encryption using HTTPS, preventing unauthorized inspection, man-in-the-middle attacks, and traffic analysis. Since it leverages TLS certificates so that clients can verify the identity of the DNS server, it prevents spoofing through this authentication mechanism. Additionally, it's built on the DoH standard defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), which means that it should work with modern RFC 8484-compliant clients. Finally, it integrates into the existing network architecture seamlessly and can even run in parallel with standard DNS, so that customers can migrate to the new technology at their own pace. Microsoft says that in the past few months of preview, DoH has become more stable, and customers can confidently deploy it in production environments with proper guidance. Microsoft has emphasized that migrating to DoH is necessary for organizations that are moving toward zero-trust DNS solutions. Windows clients already support DoH, but the latest availability on Windows Server provides encrypted DNS to all endpoints. The company has also mentioned that "while this release focuses on encrypting client-to-resolver communication, support for encrypted communication between Windows DNS Server and upstream DNS resolvers is planned for a future update." You can follow Microsoft's guidance to deploy DoH here, but keep in mind that you need a Windows Server 2025 installation with the latest Patch Tuesday updates installed.
    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
